Frequently Asked Questions

What is Air Doctor?

Air Doctor is the first internet platform, allowing you to book a same day face to face private doctor appointment with a local specialist. We aim to provide convenience, information and most important, simplicity in seeing a reputable local doctor when you are traveling abroad.

Our doctors are carefully selected. You can choose to see a Physician based on their specialty, location, reviews, and even languages spoken. With just a few clicks you have access to verified and validated doctors, who you can trust.

What is included in this cost?

Each doctor sets his/her fees for the visit based on their own price list. This cost covers the initial consultation with the doctor. It does not cover any follow up work such as blood tests, dental treatments, x-rays etc.

How do I know which doctor is right for me?

We believe that finding the right doctor for you should be easy. Our main effort is to give you the best tools to select the physician that best matches your needs.

You can start your search by typing the specialty, condition or symptom that you would like to get information on. You can also choose a specialty from the icons roll.

Once you get the suggested list of doctors you can refine the search and use the Filters and the Sort options to prioritize the outcome. Sort by language, distance from you, fees, etc.

The doctor’s profile page allows you to see what conditions and procedures the doctor specializes in, and where he/she studied. All of this will help you make the most informed decision possible.

You can also help others by leaving your own review after seeing one of our doctors.
